  Beat in food coloring and cocoa. Add buttermilk alternately with flour.
  Beat in salt and vanilla. Stir in vinegar and baking soda. Pur into two 8"
  round greased baking pans. Bake at 350 F. for 30-35 minutes. Cool. Frost
  with Icing:
  
  Icing: 1 cup cold milk 3 tablespoon flour
      1/2    cup butter
      1/2    cup shortening 1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla
  
  In a saucepan, stir flour into milk, making a paste. Cook over Low heat
  until thick, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and set heat and set
  aside to cool. Beat butter and shortening until well mixed; beat in sugar.
  Mix in cooled paste. Stir in vanilla. (You can add chopped nuts, if
